1. INTRODUCTION
1-1 Precautions for Proper Use
● Supply voltage
Make sure that the power is between 11 V and 15 V DC. If
the power voltage is too low, abnormal colour and increased
noise may occur. Do not exceed 15 V DC in any case, or the
unit could be damaged.
● Allowable ambient temperature and humidity
Be sure to use the unit within the allowable temperature range
of 0°C to 40°C and a relative humidity of 30% to 80%. Using
the unit at a temperature or humidity outside the allowable
ranges could result not only in malfunction but the impact on
the CCD elements could be serious as small white spots
may be generated. When storing the GY-DV5000 for a long
time, the storage temperatures should be –20°C to 60°C.
● Strong electromagnetic waves or magnetism
Noise may appear in the picture or audio and/or the colours
may be incorrect if the camera is used near a radio or
television transmitting antenna, in places where strong
magnetic fields are generated by transformers, motors, etc.,
or near devices emitting radio waves, such as transceivers
or cellular phones.
● Use of wireless microphone near the camera
When a wireless microphone or wireless microphone tuner
is used near the camera during recording, the tuner could
pick up noise.
● Avoid using or placing the unit in places;
• subject to extreme heat or cold;
• with excessive dirt or dust;
• with high humidity or moisture;
• subject to smoke or vapour such as near a cooking stove;
• subject to strong vibrations or on an unstable surface.
• also do not leave the unit for long hours in a parked car
under direct sunlight or near room heating equipment.
● Do not leave the unit where it is subject to radiation or xrays or where corrosive gasses occur.
● Protect the unit from being splashed with water
(especially when shooting in the rain).
● Protect the unit from being wet when shooting on a beach.
In addition, salt and sand may adhere to the camera body.
Be sure to clean the camera after use.
● Protect the unit against penetration of dust when using it in a
place subject to sandy dust.
● Optical performance of lens
Due to the optical performance of the lens, colour divergence
phenomena (magnification chromatic aberration) may occur
at the periphery of the image. This is not a camera
malfunction.
● Noise may appear in the viewfinder when switching between
the playback picture and the EE picture.
● Use the unit in an upright position.
If placed on its side, heat release efficiency will deteriorate,
adversely affecting the tape transport. Depending on
circumstances the tape may also be damaged.
● Vibrations
Colors may fail to appear and/or the image and sound may
be disturbed during VTR playback in locations subjected to
strong vibrations.
● Precautions for transportation
Do not drop or hit the unit against a hard object.
● Remove the videocassette before transporting the unit.
E-6
● Do not insert an object other than a videocassette in the
cassette insertion slot. Be sure to close the cassette cover
when the unit is not to be used for a long period.
● Do not set the POWER switch to OFF or remove the power
cable during recording or playback. Otherwise the tape may
be damaged.
● The sensitivity level of the provided microphone is set lower
than the reference input (- 60 dBs) setting.
● When the unit is not in use, be sure to set the POWER switch
to OFF in order to reduce power consumption.
● Cleaning the body: Wipe body with a dry, soft cloth. When it
is extremely dirty, soak the cloth in a solution of neutral
detergent, wipe the body with it, and then use a clean cloth
to remove the detergent. To prevent deformation of the body,
etc. and to avoid operation hazards, do not allow volatile
liquids such as benzine and thinner to touch the body, and
do not wipe it with a cloth soaked in such a liquid.
● The camera may not show stable pictures in the period
immediately after the power is turned on, but this is not a
malfunction.
● If a tape containing recorded NTSC signals is played back,
“NTSC INHIBIT” is displayed and correct playback will not
take place. If this happens, remove the videocassette so that
the unit returns to its normal state.
● When turning on the power with the tape inserted or after
loading a tape, the built-in head cleaner will emit a sound
while operating. However, this is not a malfunction of the
unit.
● The LCD screen and the viewfinder screen are manufactured
using high-precision technology. Black spots may appear on
the LCD screen and the viewfinder screen, or red, blue, green
and/or white spots may not turn off. However, this is not a
malfunction and these spots are not recorded on the tape.
● Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the cassette
insertion slot as this may result in personal injury or damage
to the mechanism.
CAUTION :
● Do not point the lens or viewfinder directly at the sun or
other strong light source.
• Eye damage could result.
• If the lens or viewfinder is left pointed at the sun, rays
may collect inside the unit and cause damage or a
fire.
● When carrying the camera, be sure to hold the carrying
handle. Holding the lens or viewfinder may result in
damage.
1. INTRODUCTION
1-2 Routine and Periodical Maintenance
The GY-DV5000 incorporates precision mechanical parts, which will collect dirt, wear out and deteriorate as the unit is used. After
the unit has been used for a long period even in a normal environment, the heads, drums and tape transport mechanisms also
collect dirt. Especially, dust which penetrates the inside of the VCR section during outdoor use will promote the wear and deterioration
of mechanical parts by causing poor contact between tape and heads or failing to maintain the video and audio quality at high
levels. To prevent wear and deterioration, clean the mechanical parts using a head cleaning tape as routine maintenance. However,
cleaning with a head cleaning tape alone is not enough for cleaning the entire tape transport mechanism, so it is also recommended
to apply periodical maintenance (inspection) to prevent the sudden occurrence of failure. As the replacement, adjustment and
servicing of parts require advanced skill and equipment, please consult the person in charge of professional video equipment at
your nearest JVC-authorized service agent.
Head Cleaning
Periodical Maintenance
● To maintain beautiful pictures and sound, be sure to use a
head cleaning tape to clean the head periodically. (Read the
“Precautions for Use of Head Cleaning Tape”.) If head
cleaning is not performed periodically, a type of mosaic noise
called block noise may appear in the picture or sound may
be interrupted.
Contents : Check or replace the following mechanical parts
according to the running time.
Block Noise
● Please use cleaning tape produced by JVC. Do not use head
cleaning tapes other than specified. Read the precautions
and instructions for use of the head cleaning tape.
● When dust adheres to the heads, the warning message
“HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!” is displayed on the LCD
monitor and in the viewfinder during playback, edit search,
and recording check using the RET button on the lens section.

running time). For details, see “HOUR METER DISPLAY” on
page 94.
For consultations related to the maintenance planning or
cost, please contact the person in charge of professional
video equipment at your nearest JVC-authorized service
agent.
1-3 Precautions for Use of Head Cleaning Tape
Please use cleaning tape produced by JVC.
Adhere to the following precautions when using the head
cleaning tape.
1. Insert the cleaning tape. Press the PLAY button after the
cleaning tape is fully loaded. The tape runs for 10 seconds
at a time in the PLAY mode. (The tape stops automatically
and then the unit enters the STOP MODE.)
2. Do not use the tape more than four times at the most for
each cleaning.
■ Use the following chart as a guide for periodical head
cleaning.
Note 1) When used in a low humidity environment, head cleaning
should be conducted at intervals half of those given in
the below chart.
Note 2) If an ME80 tape is used immediately after head cleaning,
the “HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!” indicator may
remain on. In this case, let the tape run as the indicator
will turn off after the tape has run for a while.
Note 3) Use the cleaning tape in the room temperature (10˚C to
35˚C).
Note 4) The cleaning tape case contains instructions for use of
the cleaning tape. However, some of these instructions
differ from the contents of this sheet. When using the
cleaning tape, please follow the instructions of this sheet.
Note 5) If the “HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED!” does not
disappear after repeated head cleanings, the recording
tape may be abnormal. Avoid excessive repeated use of
the head cleaning tape.

1. INTRODUCTION
1-4 Videocassette to be Used
● Use JVC’s videocassette tapes marked with the “
” or
” symbol.
“
Standard DV videocassette: LA-DV276, LA-DV186, LADV124
Mini DV videocassette: M-DV63PRO, M-DV60, M-DV30
* Do not use M-DV80.
● Videocassettes cannot be used upside down.
● Avoid storing a videocassette with its tape not being
completely wound, as this may damage the tape. Rewind
it to the beginning before placing a cassette into storage.
● Store videocassettes in a place with little humidity and good
ventilation where mould does not form.
● After a videocassette tape has been used repeatedly,
it becomes unable to maintain full performance due to
an increase in noise caused by dropouts, etc. Do not
continue to use a dirty or damaged tape, as this will
reduce the rotary head life.
● Videocassette tapes with the “
” or “
” symbol
are provided with a switch on the back to prevent
accidental erasure.
● Slide the switch to SAVE to protect the required recording
in the tape from being overwritten.
● To record on the tape, slide the switch to REC.

Recording
● Do not leave the videotapes neglected for a long period.
If videotapes are left wound for a long period of time, it may
result in distortion of the tape. Also it may cause tape-totape adhesion (known as blocking). It is recommended that
videotapes be unspooled and rewound once a year for
refreshing.
● When tapes are not in use, store them in cases and on end.
Storage cases protect videotapes from humidity, dust and
ultraviolet light. Keep tapes in cases and do not store them
lying flat. When housed in a horizontal position, pressure
from other tapes can cause distortions and deformations of
the tape edges.
1-5 Battery Pack to be Used
The GY-DV5000 can use any of the following battery packs.
● Flat shape type
● Anton-Bauer battery pack: Trimpack 13/14 Series
Magnum 13/14 Series
Compack 13/14 Series
Propack 13/14 Series
To display the remaining battery power accurately, set the
BATTERY TYPE item on the OTHERS (2/2) menu screen
according to the type of the battery pack in use. (☞See
page 81)
E-8
* An Anton-Bauer battery pack cannot be connected directly
to the camera. It is necessary to mount the optional battery
holder.
● Battery holder: Anton-Bauer QRQ27
For details on how to mount the battery holder, see page
35.
1. INTRODUCTION
1-6 Condensation
● If the unit has been cooled down in a cold place and is then
carried to a warm place, the moisture contained in the warm
air may adhere to the head drum or tape guides and be cooled
into water droplets. This phenomenon is referred to as
condensation (dewing). When this occurs, the head drum
and tape guides are covered with droplets allowing the tape
to be stuck to them, leading to tape damage.
● Condensation occurs in the following cases:
• When the unit is suddenly moved
from a cold place to a warm place.
• When a room heater has just started
or when the unit is exposed directly
to cold air from an air conditioner.
• When the unit is placed in a very
humid place.
● “CONDENSATION ON DRUM” is displayed on the LCD
monitor and in the viewfinder when condensation occurs in
this unit.
WARNING0201
CONDENSATION ON DRUM
Head drum
Video tape
Do not leave the videocassette inserted when moving the
camera under conditions where the temperature
environment changes.
After moving the unit, do not use until the internal parts
have stabilized.
Keep the power on until the warning message disappears.
● Pay attention to condensation even before the condensation
indication appears.
• As condensation forms gradually, the condensation
indication may not appear for the first 10-15 minutes after
condensation has formed inside.
• In an extremely cold place, the condensation could freeze
and turn into frost. In such a case, it takes an additional 23 hours for the frost to first melt into condensation and
then to be dissolved.
● To prevent condensation when moving the unit from one place
to another where the temperatures are greatly defferent, first
remove the videocassette, place the unit in a tightly sealed
vinyl bag, and then move it to a new environment.
To ensure no condensation occurs, allow the temperature of
the unit in the bag to reach that of the new environment before
using it.
1-7 Characteristic CCD Phenomena
Smear and Blooming
Moire or Aliasing
Due to the physical structure of a CCD it is possible to induce
vertical streaking (called “smear”) when shooting an extremely
bright light source. Another effect is the expansion of light around
a bright light or object (called “blooming”).
The CCD employed in this unit is characterized by inducing
very little smear or blooming. Nevertheless, please take note
that smear or blooming may be indured when shooting a bright
light source.
Shooting stripes or fine patterns may cause a jagged effect or
a banding in fine mesh patterns.
Smear
(Vertical pale streaking
appearing at high
luminous object)
White dots
High temperatures can cause CCD sensor pixels to produce
the effect of white dots in the image. This condition is

5-5 Charging the Built-in Battery
The built-in, rechargeable backup battery retains the date and time and the time code data. The built-in battery is constantly being
charge whenever the GY-DV5000 is connected to a power supply, but it gradually discharges while the GY-DV5000 is disconnected
from a power supply. The battery will be fully discharged when the GY-DV5000 is not used for about three months, in which case
the set date and time and time code data are reset. In this case, recharge the built-in battery and then set the date and time and
time code data again.
However, it is possible to use the GY-DV5000 even if the bulit-in battery is discharged but the date and time and time code data
cannot be recorded.

6-6 White Balance Adjustment
Since the colour of light (colour temperature) varies depending on the light source, it is necessary to re-adjust the white balance
when the main light source illuminating the subject changes.
Note
When a subject illuminated by a halogen lamp with a colour temperature of 3,200K is shot while the colour temperature
conversion filter setting is set to 5,600K, 5,600K+1/8 ND, or 5,600K+1/64 ND, a proper white balance adjustment and (FAW)
Full Time Auto White balance may not be accomplishable. In this case, change the colour temperature conversion filter setting
to 3,200K and then carry out the white balance adjustment and (FAW) again.
● Do not adjust using any highly reflective objects, such as metal, etc., as this may result in improper white balance adjustment.

CAUTION:
● The FAW (Full-time Auto White balance) function cannot
provide optimum white balance with a subject outside
the FAW adjustment range, for example when it contains
only a single colour or not enough white colour.
● The accuracy of the FAW (Full-time Auto White balance)

CONFIG menu screen is set to TRIG.
• When the HEADER REC section should not be recorded
on the CF card, temporarily set the MPEG REC item to
OFF.
For normal recording, make sure to set the MPEG REC
item to TRIG or SPLIT.
• When the HEADER REC section is recorded on the CF
card, make sure to set the user’s bits for the HEADER
REC section and the normal recording section to the
same value.
This is because the thumbnail management utilizes the
user’s bits values and different values will result in
separation of the folder for management of the HEADER
REC section and the normal recording section.
